Twice winner of the Tir na n-Og prize, Rob Lewis has been asked so many times how books are made that he's written and illustrated a light-hearted picture book, Cover to Cover, in explanation. It features Rob's trademark sheep as both author and editor but there are real-life photographs too which show machinery and personnel at a working printing and publishing company. This is a book for all ages: older readers (including adults) will enjoy hearing about the technicalities and no doubt it will open the eyes of authors and illustrators! This is a book to celebrate the publishing process - an ideal project in the year Gomer Press celebrates its 120th anniversary.

 

There are 32 pages in this book. This is a picture book. A picture book uses pictures and text to tell the story. The number of words varies from zero ('wordless') to around 1k over 32 pages. Picture books are typically aimed at young readers (age 3-6) but can also be aimed at older children (7+). This book was published 2012 by Gomer Press .

"There is so much in Lewis's illustrations that the more you gaze at them the more tiny details appear -- even the tiniest of insects seems to be having fun. " -- "Herald Express"
